Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie
By Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom
Based on the book by Mitch Albom
Recommended for ages 13 and up

A heartwarming and profound journey through life’s greatest lesson

The internationally beloved story comes to the Playhouse stage in a heartwarming and deeply felt theatrical event. Sixteen years after graduating college, journalist Mitch Albom reconnects with his former professor Morrie, now facing the final chapter of his life. What begins as a casual visit becomes a life-changing weekly ritual – a “last class” in the meaning of life, love, and legacy. As originally staged by our friends from the Sea Dog Theater, this touching story is based on the memoir beloved by over 18 million readers worldwide.

FOUR PERFORMANCES ONLY!
